Greek Faction

The Greek Faction was an informal grouping of conservative politicians in the United States of the Ionian Islands that was active from 1829 to 1864. The faction supported a union between Greece and the Ionian Islands, leading to rivalry between the Greek Faction and the British Faction; it held similar views to the liberal Italian Faction, but it advocated more aggressive foreign policies than the Italian Faction. The faction would, in 1864, succeed in its objective of achieving union with Greece.
